Infernal Beastheart

1st Level Infernal Beastheart

Companion
At 1st level, you gain a companion creature that accompanies you on your adventures, fghting, exploring, and living alongside you. You can choose any companion Listed in MCDM supplements.
Your supernatural connection to your companion binds their life to yours, allowing you to help your companion overcome even the most grievous injuries. If your companion has lost hit points or is dead, you can spend 1 minute meditating on your companion’s spirit, The companion then regains all their hit points and returns to life if they were dead, and you gain one level of exhaustion.
If the companion’s body was destroyed, they reform within 5 feet of you.

The first time you finish a long rest after you gain a level in this class, you can bond with a new companion of your choice, which arrives in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you in a manner determined by the GM. If you already have a companion from this feature, they leave to be on their own when the new companion arrives.

Natural Language
From 1st level, you can comprehend and verbally communicate with your companion, as well as with all Beasts and Monstrosities This feature doesn’t allow you to communicate complex thoughts or questions, but you can make simple statements (such as showing other creatures you mean them no harm) or ask simple questions (such as the location of the nearest body of water, or if a specific individual with a unique look passed through the area recently) The knowledge and awareness of such creatures is limited by their intellect, and the GM determines if a particular creature is in a communicative mood.
While speaking with a Beast or Monstrosity using this feature, you can make Wisdom (Animal Handling) checks in place of Charisma checks to influence the creature

2nd Level Infernal Beastheart

Primal Exploits

You learn three primal exploits of your choice, detailed below. You learn two additional exploits of your choice at 10th and 17th level.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the primal exploits you know and replace it with another primal exploit, for which you must have the appropriate beastheart level.

Some exploits are activated using your reaction Others are usable under specific circumstances but require no action. Some exploits are activated as part of the Attack action, in which case, you can use only one such exploit per turn.
All exploits require you to spend your companion’s ferocity to use them Your companion must be within 60 feet of you when you use an exploit, and must have ferocity at least equal to the exploit’s cost The companion loses ferocity equal to the cost when you use the exploit.

You can use an exploit even if your companion is unconscious, as long as they have the appropriate ferocity You can’t use an exploit while your companion has entered a rampage. Some exploits allow a companion to make a signature attack This signature attack can’t be modified with additional exploits or used as part of a ferocity action.

Exploit Save DC Primal Exploits
Some of your exploits require creatures to make a saving throw to resist the exploit’s efects The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

  • Exploit save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Saving throws for your exploits use your exploit save DC even if the action that triggers the saving throw is undertaken by your companion. Your exploit save DC also adjusts the DC of your companion’s ferocity actions (see Superior Ferocity below)
